Republican Primary

Well, my wife and I early-voted today for the Republican Primary. It was disappointing to look down the list of names on the Ballot that were no longer running. Because we are not one of the earliest States on the Primary tour, we are forced to pick the candidate that we find the least offensive, rather than the one we felt would be the best candidate.

I think the primary system needs to be revamped, so that a few States do not have the power to decide who the rest of us get to vote for.

We watched the debate tonight from the Reagan Library in California, I thought the questions were inane and did not allow the candidates to address the issues that they find important.

It amazes me that John McCain can get away with lying about Mitt Romney while at the same time complaining about Romney's "attack ads."

The moderator (A. Cooper, CNN) did a terrible job of maintaining order and ensuring that the all of the candidates had the same time to answer questions or respond to the statements of other candidates. It was obvious that CNN considers the Republican race a two-man event, even though Mike Huckabee made some great points and has a chance to pull out some wins on Super Tuesday.

For the republicans it is a 2 man race and fortunately for the Dems, if John McCain actually wins the nomination, the people will then have 2 democrats to choose from (at least that's what the pundits say).
